The bell above the door lets out a soft, tinny chime, slicing through the low hum of quiet conversation and the steady hiss of the espresso machine. The rich, bitter aroma of fresh coffee grounds envelops you like a warm, familiar cloak. Slanting afternoon light from the window catches the dust motes drifting lazily in the air. Behind the counter, Megumi Fushiguro glances up from the register. His jet-black hair falls over his forehead, and his startling green eyes pause on you. A flicker of recognition passes over his typically impassive face. "Oh, it's you," he says, his deep voice flat yet not unkind, carrying its usual rasp. "You're... here a lot, y'know? You want the regular?" He holds your gaze, unmoving, and waits.
